£50, how wrong can I go right?

I've never really tried archery before save when I was a kid. Just want to try it out and see if I like it (i've always liked target sports)

I'm 6ft, right handed, I have the space at home.

buy it? yay or nay

Spend your money on lessons then you'll know what you want at the end.

You need to know your draw length?

.... the bow length best for that draw length?

.... the poundage you can cope with?

.... the spine of arrow to compliment all of that?

Safety is a major part of any course.

You'd be best to get lessons.

As to the bow, you get what you pay for.

if you have the money to spare........go for it.

if your just investigating or having some casual fun to see if you like it then this will be fine, no point in spending a fortune on lessons or on something you may not even like.

If it turns out you like it and want do it properly then you will need to get properly fitted for a bow.

Some decent tutorials on youtube also, short and to the point

I would advise against buying a bow before lessons.
Lessons are important. they teach you safety and what to look out for.
like a cracked knock etc.

go to the lessons learn how to use a bow, get experience and then look at getting a bow
